On This Week’s Show: While Neil is off galavanting in Park City, Utah, stocking up on watching movies for the coming year at Sundance TwentyTen, Kevin is left alone in the Magical Studio in the Sky. To help keep him company is Fozzie Bare, stepping into Neil’s sizable shoes as guest host. In order to be as true to the spirit of Neil as he can, Fozzie refused to see any movies and just went by the trailers, but this leads to more interesting discussions, like Dwayne Johnson’s possible future in a Pretty Woman remake (in Julia Roberts’ role, no less) and the speculative marketplace for vampire fang dentures for the old and senile.

On This Week’s Show: Neil squeals about Team Jacob in his review of the highly anticipated The Twilight Saga: New Moon while Kevin struts around the Magical Studio in the Sky with no shirt on, desperately hoping people will mistake him for Taylor Lautner. After recounting their harrowing stories of braving the hoards of teenage girls at their respective screenings, Kevin and Neil take a trip to Planet 51 then are Blind Sided by Precious before laying down a Fat Guy Five about awesome vampire/werewolf movies (hint: neither Twilight film makes the list). There’s also a bizarre discussion of where Somali Pirates might fit into one of this week’s movies… how does that all work? Listen and find out!
Films Reviewed this Week: The Twilight Saga: New Moon, Planet 51, The Blind Side and Precious: Based on the Novel “Push” by Sapphire and Not to Be Confused with the Psychic Warrior Movie That Came Out Earlier This Year That No One Really Remembers Because Sapphire Doesn’t Know Squat About Psychic Warriors

On This Week’s Show: Neil admits to slacking on his movie-watching duties, but Kevin gives him a pass because there’s a lot of prep to be done for the SXSW Film Festival in Neil’s adopted home-town of Austin, TX. Kevin also brags about the fact that he finally broke down to the Apple cult and bought an iPhone. The Fat Guys talk about nudity (or some lack thereof) in the new film Miss March, how much Neil is a pansy for never seeing the original Last House on the Left and why Kevin convinces Neil that Race to Witch Mountain is something he might like. Also, bonus interview cuts in the third segment with Miss March directors/writers/co-stars Zach Cregger and Trevor Moore. Kevin asks the tough questions no one else does.
Films Reviewed this Week: Race to Witch Mountain, Last House on the Left and Miss March.
